The Fortnite Limited Edition DualSense is widely available on launch day, which is a bit of a surprise considering just how popular Fortnite is and how fast Limited Edition DualSense controllers typically sell out. The controller did initially sell out when preorders opened on October 3, but it has been available at one or more retailers for the past few weeks. The only retailer that had trouble keeping up with demand was Amazon, but now it's back in stock there, too.

The Fortnite-themed controller launched alongside two controllers from PlayStation's new Chroma Collection: Chroma Pearl DualSense ($80) and Chroma Indigo DualSense ($80). Meanwhile, the Chroma Teal DualSense ($80) releases January 23.

Fortnite DualSense Wireless Controller - Limited Edition

$85 | Available Now

It has a blue color scheme and graffiti-style decals inspired by the game. The Fortnite controller certainly stands out with a chaotic design that's the complete opposite of the recently released Astro Bot DualSense.

Aside from the Fortnite theming, the controller is otherwise the same as other standard DualSense controllers, complete with features like haptic feedback, dynamic triggers, touchpad, and gyro controls. PlayStation recently raised the price of DualSense controllers by five bucks, and the Fortnite controller reflects this change with an $85 list price. The Astro Bot controller only costs $80 (if you can find it), probably because preorders were already available when the increase went into effect. Going forward, limited-edition DualSense controllers will likely cost $85.

Chroma Collection DualSense Controllers and PS5 Console Covers

PlayStation's new Chroma Collection features three DualSense controllers and console covers in iridescent color options: Chroma Pearl, Chroma Indigo, and Chroma Teal.

Chroma controllers retail for the new $80 price. Console covers for the PS5 Slim cost $65 each, five bucks more than than existing color options. Chroma Pearl and Indigo accessories are available now, but Chroma Teal won't be available until January 23, 2025.

Official Fortnite Controllers for Xbox, Switch, and PC

Officially licensed Fortnite controllers for Xbox, PC, and SwitchPowerA OPS V1 Wireless Controller - Fortnite Edition (PC, Mobile) -- $55PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller - Peely Edition (Switch)-- $65PowerA Wireless Xbox Controller - Fortnite Special Edition (Xbox, PC, Mobile)-- $100

If you're interested in a Fortnite controller for another platform, there are new wireless third-party gamepads with official Fortnite themes for Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Two of them also happen to have very busy designs.

Despite its bright yellow design, the Peely-themed wireless Switch controller by PowerA is the most understated of the bunch. It connects wirelessly via Bluetooth and has a pair of remappable back buttons. The Peely controller released earlier this year for $65 and comes with a code for the Prickly Axe skin.

Xbox and PC users can buy PowerA's newly released Fortnite limited-edition controller for $100. Released on October 1, this limited-edition controller has a range of notable features, including Hall Effect sticks and triggers, four remappable back buttons, trigger locks, and custom profiles. It comes bundled with the Tooth Pickaxe skin. This controller has very similar features as the recently launched PowerA OPS V3 Pro for PC, which we found to be quite impressive for the price.

The more budget-friendly controller in the OPS line, the V1, has a Fortnite-themed edition for $55. A wireless controller for PC and mobile, the Fortnite Edition OPS V1 is equipped with Hall Effect sticks and triggers, four remappable back buttons, and three-way trigger locks. You can connect wirelessly via 2.4GHz or Bluetooth. It's available now at Amazon and comes with the Assault Bomber glider skin.
